Triggers Down was simply stellar at MLG Orlando, dominating the competition and going down in the record books as the first team besides Final Boss, Str8 Rippin or Carbon to win an MLG Halo competition since August 2005. They made a major statement in Orlando and shook almost every fan's perceptions of the best teams to the core, leaving a laundry list of defeated top teams in their wake. MLG sat down with the new champs to capture their reaction and see what it meant to them to reach such great heights.

MLG: Congratulations! How does it feel to become only the 4th different team to win an event since 2005?

FearItSelf: Feels amazing.

Snipedown: Good Answer! (laughs)

Hysteria: It's hard to describe it. You don't really know how to react.

SK: Thanks, it feels great. I remember watching the three other teams win and just wishing that would be me some day.

Snipedown: Before we came into this event, we knew we could win if we were all playing our best, but being the 4th team ever to win is indescribable.

Triggers Down celebrates their first ever circuit win.

MLG: What do you think was the biggest reason behind the teams success?

Snipedown: I would definitely have to say our motivation going into this event. We all wanted to prove that we were one of the best teams, and we knew this was the event to prove it.

FearItSelf: We were so motivated to win and prove people wrong, and we all were playing really good.

SK: We also wanted to prove that Victory X and Instinct made a HUGE mistake!

Snipedown: (laughs)

FearItSelf: Thanks Mackeo. (laughs)
